- Sponsoring sports-specific conferences, speakers, career panels, receptions and forums to raise exposure to leaders and key topics in the sports business industry
- Facilitating recruiting efforts in this highly competitive industry by working hand-in-hand with career services, companies and alumni
- Bringing in executives and high-level sports industry administrators either as guest lecturers or for stand-alone events
